Well, lemme tell ya about this “proc filesystem” thingy, where it’s stored and all. Don’t rightly know what all the fancy words mean, but I can tell ya what I heard.
So, this “proc” stuff, it ain’t like regular files you put in a drawer or somethin’. Nope, it’s like a ghost, here one minute, gone the next. They say it lives in somethin’ called “RAM.” Now, I ain’t sure what that is, sounds like a critter or somethin’. But apparently, it’s where this “proc” thing hangs out when the computin’ machine is turned on.
You see, this “proc,” it ain’t real. It’s like a pretend file system, made up by the machine itself. Don’t ask me how, it’s beyond my understandin’. But it’s there, showin’ you all sorts of things about the machine, like what’s runnin’ and how it’s doin’. Kinda like peekin’ through the keyhole, I reckon.
Where it’s stored? Like I said, they say it’s in “RAM.” Now, this “RAM,” it ain’t like a box or a shelf. It’s part of the machine, where things are kept when it’s workin’. When you turn it off, poof, it’s gone. So this “proc” thing, it only exists when the machine is on.
- It’s not on the hard disk, like yer pictures or letters.
- It’s in the “RAM,” whatever that is.
- It disappears when the machine is off.
They say this “proc” thing is important. It tells you all about the machine’s insides, like a doctor lookin’ at yer innards. It’s got all sorts of files and folders, one for each thing the machine is doin’. Don’t ask me what they all mean, it’s too much for my old head.
But I do know this: it’s built when the machine starts up and goes away when you shut it down. Kinda like the sun, up in the mornin’, down at night. It’s always there when you need it, showin’ you what’s what.
Now, they also say you can change things in this “proc” thing. Mess with the machine’s settin’s, like adjustin’ the oven temperature. But be careful, they warn. Mess with the wrong thing, and you might break somethin’.
So, to sum it up, this “proc” thing is stored in “RAM,” which ain’t a real place, but somewhere inside the machine. It’s a pretend file system that tells you all about what’s goin’ on, and it disappears when you turn the machine off. Got it?
Don’t rightly know if I explained it right, but that’s the gist of it. It’s a complicated thing, this computin’ stuff. But as long as it works, I ain’t complainin’. Just remember, it’s in “RAM,” wherever that is.
Why is it important? Well, it helps folks understand the machine, see what’s workin’ and what ain’t. It’s like lookin’ under the hood of a car, seein’ all the parts movin’. For them smart folks, it’s a goldmine of information. For me, it’s just a bunch of gibberish. But hey, to each their own, right?
So there ya have it, all I know about where this “proc filesystem” is stored. It’s in “RAM,” a magical place inside the machine. Don’t ask me no more, my head’s spinnin’ already. Now, where’s my tea? I need a good cuppa after all this talk about machines and “proc” things.
